Melody Bowdon writes to pass along the following CFP, which will interest ProfHacker readers using technology for community engagement:

For a book entitled Higher Education, Emerging Technologies, and Community Partnerships:
Concepts, Models, and Applications, edited by Melody Bowdon and Russell Carpenter, to be published by IGI Publishing.

We seek manuscripts that document and assess partnerships between institutions of higher education and K-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and corporations that have been made successful (or even unsuccessful in interesting ways) in part through the use of emerging and evolving digital technologies. Topics or sites might include service-learning; internships; volunteer programs; cooperative education; distance-learning; continuing education; professional schools such as law, medicine, education, public health, and nursing; community development programs including alumni relations and fundraising; and/or sponsored research. Technologies might include social networking, webconferencing, mobile devices, virtual environments such as SecondLife, course management systems, and/or Web 2.0 applications.

Proposals are due by December 30, 2009, with full chapters due by February 28, 2010.
